About our school

Gundaroo Public School is a small, rural school located on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country, in the small village of Gundaroo, with Canberra less than a 30-minute drive away.

We are a small school with high educational expectations and provide a quality education for the students in our care. Our priority areas are strong literacy and numeracy teaching, effective and evidence-based classroom practice, wellbeing, and sustainability.

Our school places a high value on sport, with numerous opportunities for our students to engage in a range of sporting activities for enjoyment, skill development and to compete at a school level and higher.

Technology is embedded in our teaching and learning with all students having access to devices, and regular STEM lessons integrated across a range of learning experiences.

As a small school we actively seek co-curricular opportunities for our students, and our dedicated staff lead a range of additional activities including in the areas of creative arts, sports, technology, public speaking and leadership providing opportunities for our students to experience a range of rich educational experiences beyond the classroom.

Across the school, quality instruction is ensured through consistent evidence-based teaching protocols embedded by a hardworking and highly collaborative teaching staff with a willingness to share and grow together. Staff cater for the diversity of our learners through the development and implementation of teaching and learning programs that consider the academic, social and emotional needs of students.

Students are educated in a positive, caring and engaging environment with strong support and high expectations. Strong foundation skills in literacy and numeracy are explicitly taught to support students as they move through their years of schooling. Early identification and intervention is a key element of our learning and wellbeing practice, and we have a dedicated learning and support team who work to support our students in all areas of learning.  

Adventure, imagination, and curiosity is fostered though learning experiences, and our vast school grounds provide the perfect space for these qualities to thrive. Our learning spaces are not limited to four walls. Flexible learning environments mean every space in our school is a learning space. Students learn in the vegetable garden, the bushes, under the shade of the trees and in the outdoor classrooms we are continuing to establish alongside their learning in their classrooms.

Our school motto working together encapsulates our goal to work with our community to provide the best educational outcomes for the students in our care. We are strongly supported by an engaged community and an active P&C who work tirelessly to provide our students with a range of resources.
